Tray: Hey, Ma.

♪♪

Ma, where's
that little green bag

I left in here?

It had my, uh...
school supplies in it.

I flushed your school supplies
down the toilet.

What?

And the $12,000
that was in there,

I donated to the church.

No, no, no, no, Ma,
you don't understand.

I have to answer
for that, Ma.

You told me that you were
selling sneakers!

Listen, I knew you'd be trippin'
if I told you the truth.

Look, Ma, there
ain't no jobs out there

payin' no real money, Ma.

I'm doin' what I gotta do.

Even after what happened
to your father?

Look, I don't use,
I sell.

Get out of my house.

There's your stuff.

Get out of my house!

Tray: There's nothing stronger
than a mother's love

except a mother's
disappointment.

Felony: Y'all look like
some 3rd graders, man.

Just get a Hallmark.
Hey, hey, don't do that.

I love making
my Mother's Day cards.

It says
it comes from the heart.

No, it says, "I'm broke."

I just enjoy crafting.

Can you pass me the scissors
that make the squiggle?

You mean
the edging scissors?

Women like it when you
work with your hands
to bring them joy.

Stop making Mother's Day
sound so sexy.
Alejandro: What?

This for my baby mama,
who has big titties,

just like my mama.

You know what?
I envy you guys, man.

Why, Tray?
Your mom flat-chested?

Damn it, Alejandro, no!

It's been almost 30 years
since my mother threw me out.

Damn,
that's a long time, man.

Long-ass time.

Tell me about it.

I disappointed her
so much, man,

she wouldn't return
none of my phone calls

or my cards
that I wrote her from jail.

I mean, nothing.
Nothing.

But, well, I'm sayin',
you a changed man now.

You know, dude's
doing so much better.

[ Chuckles ]
You might be right, you know?

Maybe if she saw me now,
turned my life around

and trying to get
my food-truck business

up off the ground,

maybe she won't be
so disappointed in me.

She might even
be proud of me.

You need to go see her.

I don't even know where
she lives anymore, man.

Felony:
What about your pops?

My pops died
when I was a kid.

He was real important
to me, too.

But one thing my father
always said,

"You know where you
can always find your mother --

in our old church."
Hmm.

She'd never miss a Sunday.

Now that sounds like
a plan.

Yeah, she can't yell at you
in church.

Pastor: And I want to wish
every mother in here

a happy and blessed
Mother's Day.

We certainly
have enjoyed hearing

the lovely stories
and testimonies

from some of you
about your mothers.

Now, we want to move on
to the next part of service.

Turn with me --

Pastor, is it too late for me
to be a part of this?

Ex-- Excuse me, sir?

My name is Tray Barker.

[ Parishioners murmur, gasp ]

And I would like
to share my testimony.

Brother Barker.

Come on down.

[ Applause ]

This is more than
a testimony.

This is a moment
to ask for forgiveness.

I remember
coming here as a kid.

Stealing my first kiss right
over there in the corner.

From Terolyn Bigelow,
during choir practice.

I mean, that girl had talent,
and she could sing, too.

[ Laughter ]

Man, let me tell you somethin'.

my head was in the streets.

Slingin' crack was my thing.

I did business everywhere.

I'm ashamed to say,

sometimes even
on church grounds.

Man: All right.

Nice to see you, Willie.
You lookin' good.

It's Deacon Harris now,
Tray.

Deacon Harris has
a sweeter ring

than "Slick Stick" Willie.

[ Light laughter ]

You know,
I did a long time in prison.

It's where I learned to cook.

It's why you see me out here
trying to get my food truck

up and running, you know?

And anybody in the congregation,
you get 20% of any entrée.

Man: Yes!

But that's not
why I'm here.

I've thought long and hard

about the hurt and pain
I caused you, Ma.

Sorry for all the years
of pain...

and disappointment.

I'm here to ask
for your forgiveness.

[ Applause ]

Hell no!

[ Parishioners murmur, gasp ]

[ Church bell tolls ]

All right.

Well, here we are.

Roberta, I-I see an opportunity
here for forgiveness.

You have a real-life
prodigal son coming home.

Seems more like a broke son
comin' home to ask for money.

You heard him.

Yeah, using the pulpit
to promote his food truck?

Doing business
in the house of the Lord?

I'm not here
to ask for money.

Those shoes
beg to differ.

I understand, son.

Why poor more
when you can pay less?

[ Laughs ]

So, you want me to forget

that he chose to sell crack
over his family, huh?

You're the one
that threw me out!

You threw yourself out

when you brought drugs
into my house.

That was 30 years ago.

When are you gonna stop
being mad at me, Ma?

I didn't know there was
a time limit on my anger.

Pastor, how long
should I be mad?

Now, mind you,

my husband didn't go
to Vietnam a junkie,

but he came back one,

which led him
to getting AIDS.

And I had to stand there
and helplessly watch him die!

And my son,
he chose to sell drugs,

the very thing
that killed his father.

How many years of anger
does that buy me?

Mommy, I just want
to start over.

[ Voice breaking ]
It's not that simple.

Sister Barker,
let's keep it 100.

If I didn't give everybody
in this church a do-over,

this place would be empty,
you included.

You know, I don't have
anything else to say.

Okay, fine.

I just thought maybe
that you might want

to meet your grandkids.

I got grandkids?

Why didn't you say that
to begin with?

This brother got
some explaining to do.

Mommy.
Mommy, look.

It's twins.

That's Amira
and that's Shahzad.

What do you know?

One of each.

Oh.

Now, this don't have nothin'

But if --
if you can arrange for me

to meet my grandchildren,

I'll be there.

Amira and Shahzad Barker.

I like the sound of that.

All right.

Well, actually,
it's Birkeland.

Oh, a different daddy?

Ooh.
Didn't see that one coming.

♪♪

Man, it felt so good

to see my mother
after all these years.

It made me realize
what I missed out on.

I want to get that back.

That's beautiful, Cuz.

So, was she happy
to see you, too?

At first, she was colder
than day-old Chinese food,

but when I told her
she had grandkids,

the polar ice caps around
her heart started to melt.

That's like
if Tyler Perry made "Frozen,"

she would be the villain.

Bobby, none of that
talk around Shay, okay?

Your job is to help me
convince her

to let her kids
see they grandmother.

What mother
wouldn't want her kids

to see their sweet,
long-lost grandmother?

Why would I expose my happy,
well-adjusted kids

to a woman
you said ruined your life?

Well, she didn't ruin my life,
Shay.

I ruined my life.
I was out there.

I was young and dumb
and trying to get some.

She kicked you out
when you was 17, Tray.

Back in the days,

that's the way moms
handled business.

You said her nickname
was "Skillet,"

'cause when she beat you,
she had a heavy hand.

[ Laughs ] Oh, man.

Auntie Roberta,
she had a heavy hand.

Whew! She used to break the
toilet handles when she'd flush.

You know
what I'm talkin' about?

Oh, man, it was --

I'm gonna...
Yeah, I'm gonna go in there.

Bobby:
I'm gonna go in there.

[ Whistles ]

Please, Shannon,
this is important to me.

Amira and Shahzad
are the greatest thing

to ever happen to me,

that I ever been a part of.

Now, I know you and Josh
raised them,

but they got some of me
in them, too.

If you let my mom see them
and she start to love them,

and I know
she gonna love them,

then maybe she'll learn
to love me again, too.

Hey, babe, I mean, you could
at least meet her, right?

That seems fair.

Just meet her?

Okay.

I'll meet her,
and I'll make a decision.

But if she's anything

like the way
you guys painted her to be,

I don't want her
around my children at all.

Deal!

Thank you so much.

I'll make
all the arrangements,

and then I'll
let you guys know, okay?

Until then, I want you two

to have a blessed
rest of the day, okay?

See you then.

Tray,
you forgettin' something.

Oh,
you got a nice hairdo.

Uh, no.
Take your flunky with you.

-Bobby!
-Y'all want an omelet?

Come on! Let's go!

Okay.

Um, I noticed you were missing
a few things, so I...

-Bobby, come on!
-I'm comin', I'm comin',
I'm comin'.

Let's go.
Let's go.

Come on.
I do okay?

Yes, you did great.

Let's go, champ.

Shannon, I appreciate
you are very protective

of your children.

But you don't have anything
to worry about with me.

I don't smoke,
I don't drink,

I own my own duplex

in a very safe area
off Myrtle Avenue.

It's right across
from Kum Kau Chicken.

Oh. Hey, babe,
you love that place.
It's a'ight.

Amira and Shahzad will be
in really good hands.

Why don't we just
set up some time

for me to spend
the afternoon with them?

I was thinking
about next week,

like Wednesday or Thursday.
Or Fr--
You know what?

I really appreciate
your enthusiasm, Roberta.

Honestly, I do.

But my kids, they have
been through a lot

over the last year,

and I don't want to
rush them into anything.

We're still trying
to figure out

how Tray fits
into their lives.

And --
how can I say this?

I don't want another variable
in the equation.

I'm hungry. What -- Tray,
what are you gonna have?

Why don't you order
for me?

I mean, since you're
paying for it.

Well, I think it would
help the children

to meet their grandmother
Roberta.

Let them get acquainted
with another member

of the Barker side
of the family.

You know what, Roberta?
No disrespect.
Mm-hmm.

I know that it's important
to you to meet my kids,

but it's up to me to decide
if I think they're ready.

Josh: There's so --
so much on this menu.

Club chicken sandwich
looks good.

I'm not doing bread right now.
What is wrong with bread?

Baby girl...

I've been on this planet
a long time.

Mm-hmm.
And if there's
one thing I know,

it's how
to raise children.

And I'm certain
of one thing --

children need
their grandmother.

Oh, my throat
is so parched.

Anybody need any water?

Hey, could we get
some more agua over here?

You put Tray out
when he was 17 years old,

and my twins, they're not
that much younger than that.

And you did no more mothering
after you put him out.

So, to me, it seems that
we have the same amount

of mothering experience,

so your whole, "I've been
doing this a long time" routine

isn't cutting it with me,
honey.

[ Laughs ]
Mommy, she didn't mean it.

It's not as bad as she's
making it sound like.

You know what I mean?

She's not judging you.
She ain't judging you.

That's not even Shay.
She ain't even like that.

Her mother was a crackhead,
for crying out loud, yo.

She understands that
all mothers aren't perfect.

Oh. Shannon?

Did your mother
get to spend time

with your kids
before she passed?

Of course.

So, a crackhead,
dope-fiend junkie...

Oh, God, no.

...got to spend time
with your kids,

yet I'm the one
who's not good enough?

Huh?

Josh...
Yep, I saw that --

...it's time to go.
Yeah.

Shay: Tray, your mother
hasn't changed one bit.

I am not subjecting my kids
to the Skillet.

Skillet?

I meant Skillet
in a beautiful way, Ma,

like black and beautiful.

Can't recommend
the eggs benedict enough.

The hollandaise sauce --
Josh!

[ Doorbell rings ]

We're just sitting down
for dinner, Tray.

What is it?

I don't think
you're being fair, Shay.

You need to give this thing
a second chance.

Even Frazier forgave Ali.

It's not your decision
to make, Tray.

Maybe we should let
the children decide.

Amira: Decide what?

Y'all want
to meet my mother?

Of course
I want to meet her!

-Me too.
-You son of a bitch.

Why you bringing the kids
into this?
It's about the kids.

My mother is the only
grandparent they got left.

No, you knew
what they would say.

It's like you went ahead
and said,

"Hey, I wanted
to take y'all to Disneyland,

but your mama
wouldn't let me."

I mean, I'd rather meet
my grandmother

instead of
going to Disneyland.

That's 'cause
you can't ride the rides.

Now, look what you done started.
Tray, just leave.

Josh:
Hey, whoa, Shannon, Shannon,

I think you're overreacting.

I suggest you stand down.

No, I mean, if the kids want
to meet their grandmother,

I don't see
the harm in that.

Josh.

Sorry, kids.

I tried.

Bye, Tray.

Hm.

Hi, Roberta.

Is this...?

This is Shahzad

-Hello.
-Hi.

Your grandchildren.

Did Shannon
change her mind?

Not really, no.

She doesn't know
we're here,

but the kids
kept getting caught

in the middle
of everything,

and I thought
they deserved a chance

to at least meet
their grandmother.

You're a brave man, Josh.

Sometimes.

Uh, can we come in?

Oh, I'm sorry. Come.
Come in.
Come on, guys.

Wow.

Look at you.

You look just like I did

And you are the spitting image
of your father.

-Mm-hmm.
-Poor thing.

I hope you're smart.

Um, yeah.

Okay.

Well, you gonna get the both
of us in a lot of trouble.

Josh: Hey, you let me worry
about that.

Just sorry I didn't
give you more notice.

Oh, please.
Are you kidding?

I've been preparing for this

ever since Tray
told me about them.

You were that excited
to meet us?

Oh, girl,
you have no idea.

I have everything here

from Easter outfits
to savings bonds.

I think I went overboard
just a little.

That depends.

What kind of interest rate
did you get?

Shahzad.
I mean, thank you.

All right, well,
I'll be back in a couple hours

to get them, then.

Not the goofball
I first thought you were.

Thanks.

All right, well,

Bye, guys.
Bye, Dad.

Okay,
first things first.

Have you two
been baptized?

-No.
-Okay.

Well, we gonna take care
of that when he goes.

I'm joking, Josh.
Get outta here.

Josh:
I knew you were joking.

Took a big risk, my man.
I appreciate it.

But Shay gonna kill your ass,
though.

Well, you know what?
I did this for all of us.

That's right.
That's what you tell Shay.

And you don't be scared.

I'm not scared.

I mean, I -- I just don't
think it's gonna be easy.

Well, I get that,
but this is what you do.

You puff your chest out.
Puff it out.

What are you talking about?
Your chest, bring it out!

You stand like a man.
All right.

Stand like a man.

Broaden your shoulders.
Am I not?

I feel like I am.
All right,
and you don't hold back.

No.
And you tell her this.

"I know you upset,

but I'm putting my foot
down on this one, okay?

I did the right thing
for the kids."

Say that.

Listen, Shay,
I know you're upset,

but I'm putting my foot
down on this one.

I did the right thing,
and I did it for the kids.

You did what?

Listen, Shay,
I know you're upset, but I --

You what?

I...I'm sorry?

First off, man, the kids deserve
to meet they grandmother.

I know.
Okay?

Okay, you can't punish them
for what happened years ago.

Right.
Can't change
nothin' back there.

Okay, havin' they grandmother
is a plus in them kids' life.

Yeah, that's -- I mean,
that's true, you know?

A few days ago,
they didn't know she existed,

and they were fine.

Yeah, that's true.

Admit it, Shay --

keeping the kids
from they grandmother

is just another way
of punishing Tray

for what he did to you.

Yeah, I guess if you --

if you really wanted
to punish Tray,

you would ask
for back child support,

so maybe that's not
what this is about.

That's --
I didn't think of that.

Bottom line is,

what's the worst
that could happen

by letting Roberta have
a relationship with the kids?

Yeah, I guess I didn't
think of that, either.

But you know
what I just realized?

All these examples
that you gave

for getting to know them
and leaving,

her being
a bad moral influence,

her making promises
and not keeping them,

those are all things
your mother did.

You don't know shit.

Maybe this isn't as much
about Tray and Roberta

as it seems.

Maybe you're still dealing
